 Here is the frontispiece of the original edition of "The Summer Diary of a Lady Artist" by Ann Fonsweer.



"This is an illustrated diary of revenge, violent protection of the innocent, and cougar love.

In the interwar years, in Cambridgeshire, Ann Fonsweer has stolen an education by piggybacking on the private schooling of her brother. When the diary starts, brother and sister are estranged, and Ann survives on what money he sends her. The diary reveals these financial money worries as well as the anger she feels towards her previous lovers. She is attracted to a youth in her village, who reveals to her a future crime. She decides to prevent the crime. Every page of the diary is accompanied by an odd pen and ink drawing, secretive hard to interpret."

There is a slight air of superiority when they sit on their pew. But they live together in a cottage as small as mine. It has occurred to me that there is only one bedroom. They must sleep in the same room. So what are they superior about?   I contrived to walk back with them. I asked them how they ended up in this village in that cottage. They told me a vague story about a father and a small legacy and Linda’s love of gardening. A reprint of The Summer Diary of a Lady Artist ( An illustrated novel of cougar lov...
